Empty Your Pockets

“Wait a minute!  What do you have in your pockets?” this is my question to my Rugrat daily as he leaves for school and of course his response is always “Nothing” until you ask the question about 3 times.

On a daily basis you would be amazed at the things he can fit into his uniform pant pockets.  Some of the items he attempts to smuggle out of the house does not make any sense either.   Here’s a list of things you can find in his pockets on a daily basis:

• my cellphone
• his psp
• a wheel from one of his truck
• batteries
• remote controls
• hot wheels
• puzzle pieces
• The Lion King DVD

Now after the drill down he may leave for school with empty pockets and one would think by now that I would be prepared for anything that I may find in his pockets when he returns from school.  I’ve had the pleasure of finding:

• lizard heads and tails
• chewed gum
• leaves, stones, mud (well I think its mud)
• a dead frog
• rusted screws and nails (I really hope they weren’t removed from any columns, walls or furniture at school he likes to take apart things)
• ribbons and slides (he blushes whenever I ask who they belong to)
